HOW TO SURVIVE 10 COMMON PET PEEVES
It's important to remember while being in a relationship that there are two personalities that should be considered. Therefore there are things you'd love about the person and there are things you'd love to kill them for. Take a look at the list below and identify some "pet peeves" that you or your loved one may be guilty of.
1. Chewing your food loudly with your mouth open at a restaurant or at formal gatherings.
2. Leaving the toilet seat up after use and expecting that your girlfriend/wife would notice this at 2am....in the dark.
3. "Forgetting" that there's a laundry basket made especially for dirty clothes and the bedroom floor isn't designed for that.
4. Ordering food for yourself without asking your partner if they were hungry as well and then proceeding to eat it in front of them ( especially applicable for girls)
5. Going through their messages on their phone or having an antenna up for incoming calls or texts.
6. Talking too much during a movie or their favourite show.
7. Broadcasting your disagreements to your friends or worse....their friends.
8. Souring the lime with your bad attitude when you don't see eye to eye especially if there are other friends or family around.
9. Taking over the bathroom or bedroom with make up or "feminine" products.
10. Nagging or repeatedly demanding requests from your loved one either in person, via messages or constant.....annoying....calls.
HOW TO DISCUSS THESE TENDENCIES WITH YOUR PARTNER?
1. Be honest about the situation but try not to criticize their actions.
2. Avoid words like " always" and "never" since it tends to discourage your partner more than show them their efforts are appreciated.
3. Make suggestions about how the situation can be recitifed as opposed to simply stating the problem without having a solution.
4. Thank them for listening to your concerns and for their willingness to improve the situation if in fact they do agree to work at it.
5. Remember that old habits die hard and have patience in helping your partner change their "dutty ways."

Seven Deadly Relationship Sins For Carnival
The Carnival season has just ended and maybe some of your relationships have ended as well because of it. Be honest and tell me if you are guilty of at least one of these.1. Lying about where you going!-
If you know that you would like to spend sometime away from your boo and attend a fete or two solo, please be truthful about what your intentions are. If one of their friends see you and informs of your location I'm pretty sure the result won't be as fun as the event.
2. Avoid the paparazzi-
Should you decide to ignore No.1 at least be a little smart about it. Don't make it your business to pose for the cameras with your date for the night or climb on stage to meet Machel. No one in the fete wants drama and I'm sure you don't want your bae seeing you in a "compromising" situation.
3. Backing back-
If you are with your boo at a fete and a stranger comes to whine on you. Do not, I repeat do not, entertain it without their permission. Abort that mission or you may be leaving the fete alone.
4. Going M.I.A-
If during the fete you decide to leave your girlfriend/boyfriend alone in the fete for long periods of time since you found friends that you rather lime with then you are at risk for: a) anyone flexing on bae without you seeing or b) a good trini cuss for leaving them alone.
5. Avoiding contact-
In the event that you decide to meet up at the fete, don't pretend that you didn't realize they were calling or hit the ignore button to keep the distance. Most likely they are going to see you anyway so you might as well go brave and take the call.
6. Phone overuse-
Sometimes you would like to link with your pals in the fete and that's all well and fine but avoid spending the whole time period messaging individuals while your gf/bf enjoys the music alone.
7. Taking front, before front takes you-
Many people choose to end relationships temporarily for the carnival season to allow them full immunity and allow them freedom. Chances are, after that period that person loses trust in you and the relationship would be pretty difficult to get back on track if possible at all.
Why are relationships so hard sometimes? Do you ever wish you had guide to follow so that you could avoid a sticky situation with your "bae"?? Well I'm going to share with you every week tips on how to make your relationship work and please feel free to share with me ideas and experiences of your own cause I wanna hear 'em.
